I am trying to connect the module blade server to another server to do backups. I have an IBM x3250 M3 with a High Rely for backup. The problem is the switch that I have is a Nortel 4550 and 4526. They are both 10/100 switches and I would like to know if it is possible to connect directly into the MFSYS25 multiple NIC card? Sorry if I don't have all the details as this is the first blade I have worked with.

I am trying to install a new server to do the backup for the entire Module server and would like to avoid going to the current switches as they are 10/100. I am hoping by pluging direct to the switch on the back of the Module I can utilize 1Gb transfer speeds.

If you have any other advice feel free to give me any hints in the config area.

If I'm reading this right, you've prevented Servers 1, 3, and 4 from talking to anything outside. Is this on purpose, putting them on VLAN 10, but not allowing any external switch port to also participate in VLAN 10?
